Axiom independence

An axiom P is independent if there are no other axioms Q such that Q implies P. In many cases independence is desired, either to reach the conclusion of a reduced set of axioms, or to be able to replace an independent axiom to create a more concise system (for example, the parallel postulate is independent of other axioms of Euclidean geometry, and provides interesting results when negated or replaced).

The Axiom of Choice | Epic Math Time

The axiom of choice states that the cartesian product of nonempty sets is nonempty. This doesn't sound controversial, and it might not even sound interesting, but adopting the axiom of choice has far reaching consequences in mathematics, and applying it in proofs has a very distinctive qua

Axiomatics and the least upper bound property (I) | Real numbers and limits Math Foundations 120

The role of axiomatics in mathematics is a highly contentious one. Originally the term always referred to Euclid, and his use of the term to mean `a self-evident truth that requires no proof '. However in modern times the meaning of the term has shifted dramatically, to the idea that an Ax

The Simplest Math No One Can Agree on- A Paradox of Choice

To build our mathematics we need a starting point, rules to dictate what we can do and assumed basic truths to serve as a foundation as we seek understanding of higher level problems. But what happens when we can't agree on what we should start with?

What's so wrong with the Axiom of Choice ?

One of the Zermelo- Fraenkel axioms, called axiom of choice, is remarkably controversial. It links to linear algebra and several paradoxes- find out what is so strange about it ! (00:22) - Math objects as sets (00:54) - What axioms we use ? (01:30) - Understanding axiom of choice (03:2
